Then I think these are the leaves of Cyathocline purpurea many times without flower peeople mistake it as fern !! Check out Cheilanthes sps. to me it does not look like cyathocline. It looks like Cheilanthes feei or C. lanosa of Pteradaceae. This seems to be Cheilanthes alabamensis ? May be C rufa also. complete photo of a frond and sori may help in confirmation Cheilanthes mysorensis . |
